Maybe Kevin Fang will make a video about all combined?
My prejudice tells me that it’s vibe slopped code.

Is there any meta analysis on these major outages?
They seem to be occuring more and more regularly.

I saw people speculating about this, but it’ll be interesting to see if that’s really what it was (and if so, if they’d admit it).
Preliminary articles say this was a DDoS.
A DDoS that brings down the biggest(?) DDoS protection provider?
def possible, cloudflare DDoS their own dashboard a few months ago with some react code
Based on what facts?
A statement from cloudflare blamed “a spike in unusual traffic”, but I guess the actual cause of the outage was a config file generated in response exceeded the max size

Technically a DoS, but not in the most common sense
As far as major outages, I can only think of around 10 going back 5 years. Sure there have been minor hiccups and glitches, but gosh, that’s life on the internet.
Yeah I have issues with my home setup at least that often. I can only think of two occasions where the solution took more effort than a reboot. Maybe we’re all just old enough for “every 6 months” to feel like every 5 mins
I don’t know how old you are brother, but it feels like I’m in one of those Star Trek warps where all the stars are just whizzing by.

It would be funny if it was because of some AI coding

Please don’t remind me. Had a colleague with a senior title who just vibecoded on our CI pipeline and it ended up blocking deployments for half a day.
